i got a 4.3 outa a 89 s10. from what i remember, the 4.3s use 350 components like the rods and pistons. are they the EXACT same? i need to rebuild mine and it seems that the 350 rebuild kit is cheaper than the 4.3 kit and all i would do is sell the cam and lifters and buy the ones for a 4.3. im trying to keep this as cheap as possible. any ideas?

The rods are the same but the pistons are diff-pin location- you'll have to find out if the engine is a w engine or not i.e roller or non roller its the 8th digit of the VIN. Most parts will fit a 350 though. Hope some of that helps.
